Pep Guardiola Won LMA Premier League Manager Of The Year

Pep Guardiola has been named Premier League Manager of the Year by the League Managers Association.

Pep Guardiola dominantly steered the Citizens to the title, becoming the first side in Premier League history to rack up 100 points in the process.

Man City finished 19 points clear of second-placed Manchester United and also broke records for number of Premier League wins and goals scored this term.

On being presented with the award on Tuesday night, Guardiola said: “All the other managers deserve this. They had an amazing season. You have to choose one, I was this one.

“We played good and we are happy for that. Of course, always I think the records are a consequence of our game, our consistency. To make these type of numbers you have to be solid for months, and not just a short period.

“I am at a fantastic club – it is a family. The organisation is excellent. I was at Barcelona and Bayern Munich. Manchester City – I feel at home. The investment was so important and the quality of our players made the difference. When I was a little boy I always say England was a little bit like a paradise.

“Everybody wants to be here. I want to say thank you to the Premier League for giving me the opportunity to be here, to share with my family, living here in England. The last 10 years nobody has won back-to-back so that is the challenge.”
